Jesus
Christ was crucified on a Friday. This Friday is observed in the holy week. The
holy week is the last week of the Lenten season. Christians spend the lent in
fasting and presence. Easter comes on Sunday after Good Friday. Although it is
a sad day when Jesus was crucified, it is considered as Good Friday since Jesus
sacrificed his life to save mankind.
This
day is specially observed as a day of atonement. Christians fast, go to church
and participate in the prayers and ceremonies. The services will be usually by
three in the afternoon the time when Jesus died. The day is spent in prayer and
meditation. Special processions are organized recalling the way of the cross or
the journey of Jesus through streets of Jerusalem to the top of Calvary where
he was crucified.
This
cannot be considered as a festival but a day of great importance for all
Christians to repent, confess their sins and try to lead better lives. It is
means to wash away the sins, and come nearer to God.
WISHING PEACE AND SOLICE ON THIS BLESSED GOOD FRIDAY
